Emmy Watch Guide: What to Watch on HBO, Apple TV, Hulu & FX

I watched 20 of the 21 shows nominated in the major Emmy series categories—drama, comedy, and limited or anthology series—so you do not have to. In Part 1 of my Emmy Watch Guide, I share what is actually worth watching on HBO Max, Apple TV, FX, and Hulu, including The Pitt, Hacks, Pluribus, The Gilded Age, Paradise, and The Bear. Plus, I share my overlooked and “deserved more” picks—Industry, The Testaments, and Rooster—and explain why Heated Rivalry was not eligible in this Emmy cycle. This is your curated guide to what is worth the commitment, not Emmy homework.
